Overview
Business analysis provides the foundation for almost every kind of business change and system development. The craft of business analysis is to investigate the business, to find problems and recommend ways to improve them, to improve business processes and to write the requirements for any proposed automated system. Business analysis is a combination of modelling, systemic thinking, innovating, communicating, root cause analysis, persuasion and several other skills. In short, business analysis is about understanding the real business, finding the true business problem and providing solutions to make the business work better.
- Discover real business needs, not just the most talked-about ones.
- Improve the business processes by applying automation or other means.
- Define the most beneficial scope for the analysis project.
- Use models to understand and communicate the business processes, and ensure stakeholders also understand.
- Understand how to employ business events as a way of partitioning the business for easier understanding.
- Be better at interpersonal communication.
- Think systemically, and find the best way to improve your client's business.
- Be a better business analyst
